Pull libnvdimm and DAX updates from Dan Williams:
 "New support for clearing memory errors when a file is in DAX mode,
  alongside with some other fixes and cleanups.

  Previously it was only possible to clear these errors using a truncate
  or hole-punch operation to trigger the filesystem to reallocate the
  block, now, any page aligned write can opportunistically clear errors
  as well.

  This change spans x86/mm, nvdimm, and fs/dax, and has received the
  appropriate sign-offs. Thanks to Jane for her work on this.

  Summary:

   - Add support for clearing memory error via pwrite(2) on DAX

   - Fix 'security overwrite' support in the presence of media errors

   - Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes for nfit_test (nvdimm unit tests)"

<title>dax: introduce DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE dax access mode</title>

Up till now, dax_direct_access() is used implicitly for normal
access, but for the purpose of recovery write, dax range with
poison is requested.  To make the interface clear, introduce
	enum dax_access_mode {
		DAX_ACCESS,
		DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE,
	}
where DAX_ACCESS is used for normal dax access, and
DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE is used for dax recovery write.

Read requests that return with NRF error are partially completed in
dasd_eckd_ese_read(). The function keeps track of the amount of
processed bytes and the driver will eventually return this information
back to the block layer for further processing via __dasd_cleanup_cqr()
when the request is in the final stage of processing (from the driver's
perspective).

For this, blk_update_request() is used which requires the number of
bytes to complete the request. As per documentation the nr_bytes
parameter is described as follows:
   "number of bytes to complete for @req".

This was mistakenly interpreted as "number of bytes _left_ for @req"
leading to new requests with incorrect data length. The consequence are
inconsistent and completely wrong read requests as data from random
memory areas are read back.

Fix this by correctly specifying the amount of bytes that should be used
to complete the request.

<title>s390/dasd: Fix read for ESE with blksize &lt; 4k</title>

<content type='text'>
When reading unformatted tracks on ESE devices, the corresponding memory
areas are simply set to zero for each segment. This is done incorrectly
for blocksizes &lt; 4096.

There are two problems. First, the increment of dst is done using the
counter of the loop (off), which is increased by blksize every
iteration. This leads to a much bigger increment for dst as actually
intended. Second, the increment of dst is done before the memory area
is set to 0, skipping a significant amount of bytes of memory.

This leads to illegal overwriting of memory and ultimately to a kernel
panic.

This is not a problem with 4k blocksize because
blk_queue_max_segment_size is set to PAGE_SIZE, always resulting in a
single iteration for the inner segment loop (bv.bv_len == blksize). The
incorrectly used 'off' value to increment dst is 0 and the correct
memory area is used.

In order to fix this for blksize &lt; 4k, increment dst correctly using the
blksize and only do it at the end of the loop.

<title>s390/dasd: prevent double format of tracks for ESE devices</title>

<content type='text'>
For ESE devices we get an error for write operations on an unformatted
track. Afterwards the track will be formatted and the IO operation
restarted.
When using alias devices a track might be accessed by multiple requests
simultaneously and there is a race window that a track gets formatted
twice resulting in data loss.

Prevent this by remembering the amount of formatted tracks when starting
a request and comparing this number before actually formatting a track
on the fly. If the number has changed there is a chance that the current
track was finally formatted in between. As a result do not format the
track and restart the current IO to check.

The number of formatted tracks does not match the overall number of
formatted tracks on the device and it might wrap around but this is no
problem. It is only needed to recognize that a track has been formatted at
all in between.

<content type='text'>
For ESE devices we get an error when accessing an unformatted track.
The handling of this error will return zero data for read requests and
format the track on demand before writing to it. To do this the code needs
to distinguish between read and write requests. This is done with data from
the blocklayer request. A pointer to the blocklayer request is stored in
the CQR.

If there is an error on the device an ERP request is built to do error
recovery. While the ERP request is mostly a copy of the original CQR the
pointer to the blocklayer request is not copied to not accidentally pass
it back to the blocklayer without cleanup.

This leads to the error that during ESE handling after an ERP request was
built it is not possible to determine the IO direction. This leads to the
formatting of a track for read requests which might in turn lead to data
corruption.

The discard_alignment queue limit is named a bit misleading means the
offset into the block device at which the discard granularity starts.
Setting it to PAGE_SIZE while the discard granularity is the block size
that is smaller or the same as PAGE_SIZE as done by dasd is mostly
harmless but also useless.
